NextEra Energy receives approval from President Donald J. Trump to develop up to 10 GW of natural gas-powered generation to meet nation's historic power demandMarch 20, 2026 10:37 AM
PR Newswire (US)
JUNO BEACH, Fla. , March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE), the largest energy infrastructure builder in the United States, confirmed today that President Donald J. Trump has approved the development of up to 10 gigawatts of natural gas-powered generation in Texas and Pennsylvania.
The approval, made in connection with Japan's $550 billion investment commitment to the United States as part of the U.S.-Japan trade deal, positions NextEra Energy to work with the administration to develop reliable, large-scale power infrastructure to support America's growth and technological leadership. The investment is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documents by NextEra Energy and various constituents, as well as NextEra Energy's completion of development, construction and commissioning of the selected projects. The projects, which would be owned jointly by Japan and the U.S. under the structure of the joint trade agreement, would be built and operated by NextEra Energy.Powering America and protecting affordability: The projects, which include NextEra Energy's previously disclosed Texas hub developed in coordination with Comstock Resources, are designed to support growing electricity demand, strengthen the U.S. industrial base and serve large-scale users, including data centers and advanced manufacturing. The projects would be structured so that new electricity demand is met with new generating resources, intended to avoid upward pressure on electricity bills for Americans. A word from John Ketchum, chairman, president and CEO of NextEra Energy: "America needs more power, and NextEra Energy is ready to deliver. For more than a century, we have built the energy infrastructure that powers America's growth. Our hub strategy is designed to scale quickly and support rising demand while strengthening America's energy security—without increasing electricity costs for American households. We are pleased that our Texas and Pennsylvania hubs have been selected to advance the President's goal of American energy dominance."NextEra Energy's hub strategy: The projects selected today are drawn from our existing inventory of hub development assets. The company's hub strategy is built on the value of scale. NextEra Energy currently has close to 30 hubs in its inventory at various stages of development and is working toward a target of approximately 40. The company believes that its hub strategy can reduce development timelines and execution risk—helping customers keep costs low while meeting growing power demand.Next steps: NextEra Energy will continue to advance development activities, including working toward definitive documentation with various constituents and engaging with potential customers, while coordinating closely with federal, state and local stakeholders.

NextEra Energy announces sale of equity unitsFebruary 26, 2026 8:41 PM
PR Newswire (US)
JUNO BEACH, Fla., Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextEra Energy, Inc. (NYSE: NEE) announced today that it has priced its public offering of $2.00 billion of equity units. The transaction is expected to close on March 3, 2026.
NextEra Energy, Inc. has granted the underwriters an option to purchase during the 13-day period beginning on, and including, the closing date up to an additional aggregate stated amount of $0.30 billion, solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments.The net proceeds from the sale of the equity units, which are expected to be approximately $1.97 billion (or approximately $2.27 billion if the over-allotment option is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriting discount but before deducting other offering expenses, will be added to the general funds of NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NextEra Energy. NextEra Energy Capital Holdings expects to use its general funds to fund investments in energy and power projects and for other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of a portion of its outstanding commercial paper obligations.Each equity unit will be issued in a stated amount of $50. Each equity unit will consist of a contract to purchase NextEra Energy common stock in the future, and undivided beneficial ownership interests in two series of debentures issued by NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, consisting of a Series P Debenture due March 1, 2031, and a Series Q Debenture due March 1, 2034, each with a principal amount of $1,000. The debentures will be guaranteed by NextEra Energy. Total annual distributions on the equity units will be at the rate of 7.375% on the stated amount of $50 per unit, consisting of interest on the debentures and payments under the stock purchase contracts.In approximately three years, each stock purchase contract will require the holder to purchase NextEra Energy common stock for cash, based on a per-share price range of $91.99 to $115.00. The higher end of this price range reflects a premium of approximately 25% over the New York Stock Exchange closing price of NextEra Energy common stock on Feb. 26, 2026, which was $91.99. The holders of the equity units must complete the stock purchase by no later than Feb. 15, 2029, with the required purchase price of stock purchased on that date determined based on the average closing price of NextEra Energy's common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on Feb. 12, 2029. The holders may satisfy their purchase obligations with proceeds raised from remarketing the debentures that comprise part of their equity units.Upon settlement of the purchase contract, NextEra Energy will receive cash and will issue the requisite number of shares of its common stock. Before the issuance of NextEra Energy common stock upon settlement of the purchase contracts, the purchase contracts will be reflected in NextEra Energy's diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method.Wells Fargo Securities, BofA Securities, Citigroup and Mizuho will be joint book-running managers for the offering.This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities to which this communication relates in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
